Abstract: Background: Neurodegenerative diseases are a collection of diverse and devastating conditions that can have severe downhill effects on the affected patient and family members. It therefore becomes essential to detect and diagnose them at an early stage. Various validated scoring systems can be used to assess neurodegenerative disease changes on routine MRI scans of the brain. Aims and objectives:Retrospective analysis of.......

Abstract: Background: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is the irreversible dysfunctional activities of the kidney, of which mortality is inevitable in the absence of dialysis or kidney transplant. Vascular access is critical in the dialysis of ESRD patients. The Vascular Surgeon plays a crucial role in the provision of vascular access for haemodialysis in this group of patients. Objective: To determine the causes of End stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients who presented for haemodialysis vascular access interventions......

Abstract: Background: Segmental thoracic spinal anesthesia (STSA) selectively administers local anesthetic agents to specific thoracic spinal segments, providing regional anesthesia below the targeted area. Conversely, general anesthesia (GA) induces unconsciousness and immobility by administering anesthetic drugs systemically. This study aimed to compare the efficacy ofsegmental thoracic spinal anesthesia and general anesthesiain breast cancer surgery. Methods: This multicenter comparative observational study was conducted at the Department of Anesthesiology, in multiple hospitals in.....

Abstract: Introduction: Morbidity related to hypertrophic scars and contractures which are well-known sequelae after burns remains high and has increased as more severely burned patients are surviving. The goal in management is to restore the function and form of the origin. The objectives of surgical intervention are releasing the scar, restoring cervical movements, appearance, and natural profile, and avoiding the recurrence of contracture. Methods: This study was conducted on patients admitted to our institution with seven cases of post-burn neck contracture who underwent operative treatment using Integra and skin grafting.
Results: seven.....

Abstract: Summary Lyell's syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is one of the rare major complications of Lamotrigine treatment. Its management has not yet been codified. It requires urgent, extensive intervention adapted to each patient to reduce mortality. We describe a case of Lyell syndrome that occurred eight days after initiation of treatment with Lamotrigine as part of a therapeutic protocol for bipolar disorder in a 36-year-old female inpatient. It is vital to report the importance of raising awareness and providing personalized information to patients and prescribing physicians on the risks associated with the use of antiepileptic drugs in psychiatric disorders

Abstract: Background:Candida albicans is a common oral fungal pathogen that frequently colonizes denture surfaces, leading to denture-related stomatitis. Denture adhesive usage is widespread, yet the impact of smoking on the efficacy of denture adhesives in preventing Candida albicans growth remains unclear.This in vivo study aims to assess the influence of smoking on the effectiveness of denture adhesive in Candida albicans growth on denture surfaces. The study also investigates whether there are differences in this outcome between smokers and non-smokers.....

Abstract: Background: Hearing loss is an extremely common medical condition, progressing in incidence and severity with age. The affected population is also vast, varying between neonates to elderly people, and is nearly omnipresent in the 70+ age group. In India there is an overall prevalence of hearing loss of 26.9% among persons aged 5 years and over. 15.8% had a sensorineural hearing loss, 10.3% had a conductive hearing loss and 0.8% had a mixed hearing loss. Pure tone audiometry is the main hearing test used to identify hearing threshold levels of an individual,....

Abstract: Collet-Sicard syndrome is a rare clinical manifestation of unilateral palsy of the mixed cranial nerves (from IX to XII). A 37 year-old man was presented, three weeks after a trauma of the left cranio-cervical region, for hoarseness voice, difficulty swallowing, left neck pain and weakness in the left shoulder. The neurological examination uncovered dysfunction on the left side of cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII. A cervical computed tomography scan detected a fracture of the left occipital condyle at the skull base. The patient was managed conservatively by immobilization of the cervical spine and orthophonic rehabilitation. Total neurological recovery was noted one year after the injury

Abstract: Nephrotic syndrome may trigger the onset of hypothyroidism, promoting massive urinary protein losses including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) along with their binding proteins. However, in patients with prolonged and severe proteinuria, especially with concomitant low thyroid reserve, urinary losses of free and protein-bound thyroid hormones are sufficiently pronounced to induce a subclinical or overt hypothyroidism. We reported a case of a 25-year-old man with previous normal thyroid function who developed overt hypothyroidism due to a severe nephrotic syndrome, requiring supplementation with levothyroxine (LT).

Abstract: Pituitary apoplexy is a rare and potentially fatal endocrine and neurosurgical emergency, corresponding to sudden haemorrhage, infarction or necrosis within a pre-existing pituitary adenoma. We report the case of a 46-year-old patient who presented with sudden onset of headache with vomiting and bilateral blindness. Hormonal assessment and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pituitary macroadenoma with haemorrhagic remodelling, and the patient underwent emergency surgery via the subfrontal route.
